Perhaps controversial as I never see it mentioned, though I love Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come. He plays wonderfully a slowly breaking man finding hope in and within darkness. It’s a movie of many messages and meanings, with a lot of symbolism.
It’s far from his most popular movies and yet I cannot help but love it all the same.
One Hour Photo.
It’s not my favorite per se, but it was so unexpected given all the other roles we know him for.
Perfect exchange, no notes.
Bicentennial Man. What a great film
It is my favorite movie.
I relate too much, to a robot trying to understand and become a human.Mork and Mindy is magnum opus.
Good Will Hunting comes to mind as one that hasn’t already been mentioned.
As one of his non comedic roles, I’d say he kills it and kinda steals the show.
PETAH PAN
BANGARANG!
What Dreams May Come
There’s a scene where he’s angry that his wife has gone. He screams into his mentor’s face, “suicides go to hell?” it’s a devastating scene. he’s the only person who could deliver that line.
his mentor is wrong, by the way. he and his wife find each other again. it’s got a beautiful ending.
The Genie, obviously.
As if it even needs to be said.
Rainbow fucking Randolph
I went into that movie having only seen the poster. What a fucking ride!
It’s a…it’s a…. IT’S A ROCKETSHIP
Probably Good Morning Vietnam.
I think that best channelled his cocaine energy.
No one has said “Dead Poets Society “
!!???!!
He was so amazing and empathetic; just outstanding. Made me WANT for a teacher like him
Mrs. Doubtfire or it’s not your fault
I know
Mork from Ork. Nanoo nanoo. It’s what I always think of when I think of him. That and What Dreams May Come, for sure.
Is there any film in which he wasn’t absolutely stellar?
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen comes to mind. Kind of one-note performance, really, but to be fair to him it’s not a deep character.
Oh fuck, also Toys! That fucking stinker of a film.
If you don’t like Toys your inner child was dead at the time you watched it.
I was literally coming into this thread to say that was my favorite role of his.
It’s whimsical, Leland.
Mork of course.
Yes!
